Goddamn hippies, get off my lawn.

[paulthomasanderson]

There's a real cute girl named Joe that works at the one I go to.

[Cdubby]

they have delicious mini frozen pizzas.

[ThomThom]

Peanut Butter Granola Bars.

[Dr. Lufs-al-ot]

Trader Joe's is the only place I shop now for food (besides the local produce market)

A hell of a lot cheaper than say Ralphs or what have you, and with foods 5x as delicious

[Pixiessp]

Oh Yum yum yum. I love Trader Joes.

[brittany]

trader joes is alright but their produce is disgusting... it's in plastic boxes and usually over ripe or moldy. i feel like the majority of the food at trader joes is frozen food or cookies/breads.

Agreed, never go to trader joes for produce.

[Dr. Lufs-al-ot]

yeaa thats the reason i head to the product market for produce, but for the most part their food is amazing

[pancakespancakes]

Fully support this thread.

I have been trying to score a job there for a while... honestly in part just for the discounted awesomeness.

[brittany]

their pay is shitty though. compared to whole foods who paid me 12/hr.

edit: i think trader joes would be a more pleasant place to work than wfm.

[pancakespancakes]

$12/hr. holy shit what were you doing there?!

I have actually heard great things about working at Whole Foods. Didn't hear about the great pay though. The one near is unfortunately never hiring either...

This is the major reason i would apply at Traders

come may i think i might actually

[whynotsmile99]

i'm still pissed they took away my garlic oil

[Boourns]

Their frozen food is reasonably priced and edible.

[brittany]

just cashier/bagger/customer service, for 2 years.

it was fun at first, then our store moved to a new location that was 3x the size (second biggest whole foods) and it got really shitty... management and new customers.

the san diego whole foods are nice... theres like 3 of them right? i have a few friends working at one of them down there. i like how they don't require the employees to wear the aprons.

p.s. john mackey is a douche.

[Sleepingrock]

I've never heard of this place....what is it?? aside from a store

[captncrzy]

Tj's is known in the service industry as one of the great places to work in terms of employee treatment and benefits (up there with In N Out and Starbucks).

[GrossMagic]

Lately the wraps, sandwiches and salads pre-made to go are really letting me down. They almost compare to gas station food.

[Dr. Lufs-al-ot]

the fuck are you talking about?
you drinkin drugs?

their blue cheese, candied peacan, mixed greens, and cranberry salad has been and will always be to die for.

[hawkingvsreeve]

I am addicted to TJ's strawberry lemonade.

Shit's like crack.



I also have a love affair with their Thai chicken pasta salad, their white corn tortilla chips and the goat cheese pizza.

[theburiedlife]

They have awesome cereals, good hummus, a decent wine selection, and amazing Greek yogurts.

So true, Trader Joe's produce is nas-tay! There have been multiple occasions where I have seen moldy or spoiled items in their produce section.

Trader Joe's chocolate covered peanut pretzels, blue cheese roasted pecan dip, ice tea lemonade, and organic three cheese pizza on the other hand are great.

And I have a buddy who was a long time manager for multiple locations who got paid bank.

[paulthomasanderson]

The fresh smell of coffee beans the moment you enter...those were the days.

[Egull]

Better then many chinese restaurants...no joke

[guedita]

Their white bean and basil hummus is delightful.
